Docs updated or added since the 3.24 release

This website release includes several important updates!

• The Flutter AI Toolkit is launched! You'll find the docs on the website in the side navigation menu under App solutions > AI and at Flutter AI Toolkit.

• For a long time now, we have been asked to create more guidance for developers who write large-scale, complex Flutter apps. Well, that work has begun: introducing Architecting Flutter apps! This section includes eight new pages about architecting Flutter apps, including a Design patterns page that has six recipes for common design patterns that you might find useful.

• We've added more information about Support for WebAssembly (Wasm).

• We've also reworked the Web renderers page to cover the two build modes for web and its two renderers.

• Impeller is now the default rendering engine for iOS and Android. We've also added a link from the Impeller page to the detailed Can I use Impeller? page.

• For developers interested in monetization, we have introduced a new Interactive Media Ads package. You can find it through the website in the side navigation menu under App solutions > Monetization > Advertising. Also, check out the Video & web app support in Flutter blog post.

• We have new docs for using Flutter with Android, specifically, Launching a Jetpack Compose activity from your Flutter application and Calling JetPack APIs.

• Work continues on the Learn the fundamentals pages (formerly called the First Week Experience). Besides updates to several pages, check out the new Intro to Dart page.

• Further support and updated docs for the Swift Package Manager. Specifically, you can now build on the stable channel for SPM, however, plugins will continue to be installed using CocoaPods as the SwiftPM feature remains unavailable on the stable channel: Swift Package Manager for plugin authors and Swift Package Manager for app authors.

• The Deep linking validator tool, part of DevTools, now works for both iOS and Android.

• Also, don't forget to check out the breaking changes page for this release. That's also where you'll find useful migration info.
